In my previous write-ups for UB40 albums, I've stated that I liked this band the most in their early years, before they moved in a more mainstream direction. This is the tail end of the period I like the most. It came a couple of months after the release of their studio album "Baggaridim." That contained two hits, both covers, "I Got You Babe" and "Don't Break My Heart." They performed both of those here, although "I Got You Babe" was a duet with Chrissie Hynde, so it was done here without the duet aspect.
This album is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent.
Note that, while putting this together, I noticed that I'd posted two previous BBC albums by UB40, but I didn't include "Volume 1" and "Volume 2" in their titles. That's fixed now. I also upgraded their cover art. So if you want those updated versions, here are the links:

The cover shows lead vocalist Ali Campbell at a concert in Massey Hall, London, on March 11, 1985. The original was in black and white. I colorized it with the use of the Kolorize program.
Howdy, Paul. I'm draftervoi from over at Voodoo Wagon. I just reposted a UB40 show I digitized back in 2015 with updated file tagging, and newspaper confirmation of the recording date. You can find it at: https://voodoowagon.blogspot.com/search?q=ub40
